  At first glance I thought you were the person who submitted the article and thanking OP for noticing your UK slant.

seems like an uptick since 2020. might be part of the larger angst people have been feeling about society during the pandemic (a trend which I personally feel has degraded the experience on here)

Seems like they are annoyed that the Conservatives can't meet the minimun standard requirements for governing a country. Seems accurate on many levels.

    Its economics and politics, a quick scroll through your comments shows lots of commenting on topics involving economics and politics. People who dismiss different opinions via implication of some kind of "negative vibe man" are not worthy of debate.. sorry.

A "negative vibe man" comment. A quick scroll through your comments shows lots of commenting on topics involving economics and politics. Offhand it would be easy to ascribe a "slant" to them. This is in bad faith. Please don't slander a story posted presumably in good faith.

  I've never submitted a political story commenting on others that have seems fair enough > This is in bad faith. Please don't slander a story posted presumably in good faith. this seems way out of line (and deeply ironic) maybe you can point out where I slandered something?

    You have multiple comments discussing economics, politics of technology, and politics generally. Just look.. they are there. You are insinuating that this story about politics and economics should not be treated in good faith because the poster is tainted in some way via linking to their comment history. Your post on the other poster's comments seems in bad faith imo. Plus, I find "negative vibe man" comments are not ideal.

        > you really don't you see the irony here? You contradicted your own terms of debate trying to taint a commenter as "political" while having a history of commenting on similar items. I pointed that out as not consistent using your comments as evidence. Mildly ironic but no. > it seems if anyone's out of place here it's you, not me Negative vibe on isle five officer!! The very idea that technology is not adjacent to economics, politics, and demographics is silly. If the forum mods don't think that then boo!
